The journey to the Mountain felt like an eternity, and the return trip was just as arduous, if not more so. The purple spotted stallion begins his descent back towards the Meadow, located near the Forest. The sky rumbles a sign that another storm was on the horizon. This time of year, storms were a frequent occurrence. Spring had arrived.
"Go forth, find pieces of Tephra, and bring them back here - let’s see about bringing that jungle back into the light," he was instructed. Though he wasn't entirely sure what Tephra was, or had been, he was driven by a dream in which he was told that others needed his help to restore a fallen land. And so, the journey began.
The trek is long and treacherous, especially as the sky above begins to open up. Raindrops fell and landed against his dark black and purple spotted coat. With no shelter in sight for miles, he pressed on. His body took on more and more water with every step, and his mane and tail became saturated, clinging to his neck and hindquarters. The weight of the water made his head and neck feel heavy.
The storm didn’t last long, but its impact was evident. He shook off the coat of water and continued onward.
